Quotes about the cross
Since this is my first entry on my new blog I thought it would only be appropriate to start off with some quotes about the cross.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Galatians 6:14
God grades on a cross, not a curve.
The cross was a pulpit in which Christ preached His love to the world. Augustine
We, as the Church, were brought into being by the cross.We continue to live by and under the cross.Our perspective and behavior is governed by the cross. The cross is our badge of honor, our banner we wave, our compass that guides us.
And last, but not least, from the third verse of the hymn, When Peace Like a River:
My sin – O the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Chorus
It is well…with my soul …It is well, it is well, with my soul.
